Maniaplanet Update #4 - wishlist

- Rain / Snow setting in the future?

Try to use WebM. This method can solve these problems. You can create the illusion of rain or snow.

Yeah, WEBM is a good solution, but if you move into other directions, you also want to have the particles "move with you".

Example: https://youtu.be/HBXrI34lNM4?t=1m12s (the one scene with the russian and ukraine car, and the "fireworks" one)

Allow manialink scripts to use event similar to CSmMode::EType:: OnRequestActionChange - trigger when using mouse scroll.

Titlepacks into... block packs ?

I think that the titlepack system just removes out accessibility to new players, themselves likely entering official titles.
The concept is to unite players into one common title, so it would come to fuse Canyon, Valley, and Stadium, into 1 TrackMania² station.

In example, I want to play a map on Nascar Evolution, or Stadium F1, actually I had to quit Canyon, and search into a 30 titles mosaic. Using the blockpack system, it would come to switch between map 1 requiring pack A, and map 2 requiring pack B... It also contributes reducing the clicks numbers. Flawless.

I also thought about players-made campaigns. It was existing in TrackMania Sunrise, an in-game system in where we could download campaigns without quitting the game. See in the picture below :


So I know that it would come to modify a huge chunk in maniaplanet's code, but I'm trying bringing a tiny idea that could greatly help making the games more comfortable to play.

I think you should change something with the TrackMania Carpainter...

How should we paint with these Bloomeffects??



I used a circle for that...



Happens with every Sticker...

And maybe let us move the Camera, not only rotate?

Something in the MediaTracker:

Player focused (Shield not visible but it's activated):



Mountin Focused, but the part of the shield in front of the mountin is sharp too:



Fix?

And please give the possibility to scale the shield in MediaTracker. Sometimes a bigger shield looks better.

Do a contest for redesigning-contest for the station menus. They look so bad and we have many TPs with much better interfaces. And when you don't have time to do a new interface, just let the community do it

I honestly dont wanna see TM-stuff when I'm playing SM. But that's probably not possible? The menu of the manialink is really cool and is a significant improvement opposed to the current menus.

I guess i'm a bit late, but please Nadeo, restore the CanyonCar/Valleycar on Stadium possibility
I ust don't understand why you didn't let it, I can't see how it annoyed you? :/

I don't know if it was already requested, but could it be possible to deactivate the automatic bench lauched when starting the game ? Normally, it is launched only once, the first time, but if it doesn't work, it is launched EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO PLAY, so you lost a minute...
Personally, i know this problem. I play on Linux with Wine. Everything go well exept this. Probably, it could also happen on Windows PC with particular Hardware.
